1 oer 38 and 0011- oentrie with the journal 5, is a ring 7 having a, plurality of slots 9, having psroilelly posed feces. Journsled on the inner circle of '7 and on pin 6 a, circular disk H, which. has the number of circumferentieily and. radially disposed slots 13 as has ring '2 slots 9 extending towards center. The said circular disk 11 iris tionslly connected with the member 42 by means of the following device:

Circular disk 11 has a stepped. ring, rigidly fastened. to it in the position shown concentric with iii 6, by means of rivets or pins Journa ed Within. this stepped ring I is a shouldered member 15 Whose shoulder engages the step on member 14. hastened to this member 15 and passing through memher 4-, are iii-plurality of studs 16 having nuts -17 screwed upon their upper ends and springs 18 between said nuts 17 and memher 4, thereby tending to draw members 15 end i and hence eireuhir disk 11, against member 42. Plaoed between member e mid circular disk ll is ring 10 made of fiber or other durable material which has ft high coefiioient of friction With members i and 11. Member 4 is suitably shaped. as shown to receive these members 15, 1.4, 1t, '10 and 7. The frictional resistance set up ill rotzit mg member 11 while iii-ember 4 is stationary can be regulated by means of the nuts 17 and springs 18 on studs 16.

From the above description it will be soon that circular disk. or member 11 is l'ri -lionally connected with member 4 and that ring or member 7 is rigidly connected with memher 4. Member 1 further has it series of equidistant notches 36 cut from its circumference, each notch having it hardened plate 26 festcned to one of its sides by mums of screw 27. Frame 1 carries it pin 2.; whose end is resiliently held against the periphery of mom- )er 4 as shown by moons of it spring 33 i'as toned to a lever 31 journsled on l'rmno l by means of bolt 32., said lover having a. projection which sets in at slot 3%? on said pin 28, serving tokeep the lat side cl pin 32% laced toward the hardened plates 26 on nwmbvr 4 with which it engages, as will be explained further alimg. When member at rotates around on pin. (5 and neck 5 (by means of which it is journaled as above mentioned) in l operation of moving the member 4v ar'ound 65 the direction of the solid arrow (see Fig. I), pin 28 merely rides out of notch 36 and on the circumference of 4- until it-comes to the next in the notch 36.

plate 26 andthen dro s into this notch 36, and so on. .But shou d it be attempted to move member 4 in the opposite direction (in direction of dotted arrow) immediately after dro ing pin 28 off of plate 26 when moving in lrect-ion of solid arrow, as above mentioned, it will. immediately bring. the bardened plate 26 against the pin 28, making it an abutment for" holding the member 4 against further rotation in the direction of the dotted arrow. Bolt 29, which has a locknut 30, passes through a threaded aperture rejection of pin 28 and serves as 'a means orregulating the depth of'contact of said pin 28' with the plates 26 on member 4. When the depth of contactof the pin- 28 is pro erly adjusted, bolt 29 is rigidly fastened to t 1e projection on pin 28 by means of locknut 30, the end of the bolt 29, when thus fastened, serving as an abutment striking the member 1 before the pin 28 bottoms in the Journaled in frame! below said members4, 7 and 11 isashaft 23. l astened to the upper end oi'said shaft 23 is an actuator comprising a crank disk 22 which carries a pin 21 on which is journaleda roll 20 which engages in succession with slots 9 of ring 7 and 13 of member 11', said roll 20 being shown in Fi I at a, on the dividing circle between menibers 7 and 11. The actuator is rotated by means of a pulley 23, or any other means usually used, in the direction of the arrow, and starting from'a rdll 20 enters the slot 9 of member 7-, thereby rotatin member 4 in the direction shown by the solid arrow,

radually starting it and gradually going asteruntil pin 28 is halfway between the notches, when the speed of member 4 gradually slackens until it comes at rest, when pin 28 drops over the'next plate 26 on member 4 and the roll 20 has moved the slot from auto I) (see Fig. I), wheniroll 20 is ready, to enter slot 13 of frictionally mounted member 11.

As roll 20 enters slot 13 of' member 11, the effect of roll 20 is to cause rotation of member 11 in a direction opposite to that of member 7 and hence member 4, or to Icause member 4 to move in the direction of the dotted a'rrow until plate 26 strikes the 3 pin '28 which had dropped over plate 26 at the end of the tinually in one direction and each time it com letes one revolution by means of shaft 23, t e roll 20 performs the above mentioned by one notch by the pin 28 and'holding said member 4 at rest against pin 28 for a given cried.- rom b to win a' slot 13 of t'rictionally journaled disk 11, while member 4 is locked, it gradually starts from its position'of rest, in-

It will be-seen that as roll 20 travels creasing until the center position of its travel is reached, when 1t gradually decreases until it reaches its position of rest relative to member 4 at the point a between the members 4 and 11.

From the above description'it is evident that the slots 9 of member 7 and the slots 13 of member 1] must be in line when my device is assembled, and will always remain so, since the roll 20 must always'pass from the position etc the position i), then again to the osition a, the crank. being so posit-ionedthat it always brings the parts to the proper-registration. It is alsoevident that by means of blocks 26 1 can secure anydesirable accuracy" in locating member 4 and the entire member 38, which I have here shown having a turret or table 2, having a series of oc-kets 3 which may carry pieces or rods to e operated o'n',

or may carry. tools for operating on pieees IV, circular disk 11. is

member 4 and rin 7 is ri idly fastened to said member 4. Whether use one device or the other depends on the following:

lt in a machine that employs my invention, it re uires a short period of rest or dwell, or a ow speed of rotation from notch 36 to notch 36, as is the case with large heavy turrets, I employ the form shown in Figs. and ll. If in a machine that employs my invention, it requires a longer period of rest' or dwell, or a high speed of rotation from notch 36 to notch 36, as in case of li hter or smaller turret s, I employ the form s IOWII in Fi s. III andlV.

'iot

t will be noticed that for the same direction of the disk or actuator 22, the member 4 in my device shown in Figs. Ill and IV will be 0 posite to the direction of member 4 in myr evice shown in Figs. 1 and II. This will be seen at once from the solid line arrow shown in the respective drawings.
